Our tour guide Sandro was amazing. He is kind, fun and knowledgeable. They took us to all the stops mentioned and explained them. The tour was extremely fun and we had a great group.

Jason_U, May 2026
Nick was a terrific guide. He was very thoughtful and happy to answer questions and made sure we had enough time to stroll at each stop.

Short and sweet half-day tour

Rushda_K, May 2026
My family had a wonderful time on this half day trip — in fact, the sights covered ended up being among our favourites from our whole trip! Each stop was well worth seeing. Our guide Sandro did a great job of creating a fun atmosphere on the bus, and took his time to explain the history and context at each stop. He also did a good job keeping to time, and accommodating people's needs. The wider team were also very helpful and responsive over WhatsApp.

Great day!

Great morning tour with Nick as our guide. Very friendly, informative and interesting guy. Definitely recommend

Nice half day trip to explore cool sites.

Jayesh_T, Apr 2026
Great way to explore some cool spots just outside Tbilisi. The chronicles of Georgia was the highlight, and wished we spent more time exploring that site. The tour guide (Sandro) was really good, infromative and made the experience fun.

All the sites were...

Anna_S, Apr 2026
All the sites were interesting and i enjoyed the places themselves. The guide was fine, though a bit needy for us to constantly affirm him and tell him he was doing a good job. Please stop asking guests to review you right there in front of you in the van. I don’t like the pressure and it deters people from giving honest reviews.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting that you enjoyed the places visited — we truly appreciate that. We’re sorry to hear that you felt any pressure regarding reviews. This is definitely not the intention of our team. Sometimes our guides may mention that feedback is appreciated, but it should always be communicated in a light and optional way, never in a way that makes guests uncomfortable. Your comment is important, and we will address this internally with the guide to ensure a more relaxed and respectful approach going forward. At the same time, we want to clarify that our goal is always to collect honest and genuine feedback, not to influence it. Thank you again for sharing your experience — it helps us improve.

Good tour.

Tasneem_A, Apr 2026
I did the Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia tour. It’s a budget‑friendly option, and overall I enjoyed it, but it was very sociable. As an introvert, that part wasn’t really for me. That said, the tour was exactly as advertised. The itinerary was solid, the operator communicated clearly, and the meeting point and timings were well explained. The small group size, clean and comfortable minibus, and safe driving made it an easy half‑day trip that covered a lot without feeling rushed. We left just after 09:00 and returned to Rose Revolution Square at 14:00. Wear good footwear — there’s plenty of walking and some uneven paving. I booked the option without the tastings. If you choose to skip the tastings as well, you’ll still have free time in Mtskheta, where you can grab a coffee or a snack. The guide was friendly, but he was a student and didn’t have much historical depth. He shared the basics, but I would have preferred more detailed information, especially given the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites included. These sites are not very easy to visit independently so I would definitely recommend booking a tour. Overall, it’s a good, affordable tour that delivers exactly what it promises.

Great tour needs 1 hr added

Joshua_C, Apr 2026
A fun half day tour. But, more time is needed at both the bar and the chronicles of Georgia. I would recommend adding an hour to the tour so people have time to shop and take photos at the chronicles.

Good fun tour but more info would improve it.

Melanie_S, Apr 2026
This was a good trip and we had fun, however we wished more information was given. The trip was planned to start at 9.00 we were messaged the day before saying we need to be at the meeting point at 8.30, so we turned up at 8.25 (having missed our hotel breakfast as it started at 8 and the walk to the start point was just over 30 minutes away) only to be told the bus leaves at 9.00. Asking people for apparently no clear reason to turn up 30 minutes before a tour seems silly.

Unmissable trip!

Kate_R, Mar 2026
This was a brilliant trip with Sandro and Nick. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the sites but they brought our whole group together with games and chat, which as a solo traveller was invaluable. Would highly recommend!

Fun in Tbilisi

Ern_K, Mar 2026
Had a great tour with Sandro and Luka. They were knowledgeable, light hearted and friendly. We had a good time and saw the major sites.

Shorter tour that covers major sites

This is an excellent tour that gives you an idea of Georgian history. Tanu the guide, is very knowledgeable, candid, funny, kind, flexible and very motivated. I highly recommend this tour.

Rowell_L, Feb 2026
Our main guide Tanu and assistant guide Mariam made all the difference to this trip. They are both so friendly, helpful and knowledgable! Tanu brought us to the best sweet shop in the bazaar. Mariam has such potential to be a full fledged guide with her great personality! We enjoyed the trip very much because of Tanu and Mariam.

Kura is nice and good. We are in good hands. The experience is memorable. Kura our tour guide is great person.

Half day tour of local highlights. Nice photo ops., interesting sites.

Ronald_B, Jan 2026
George was a great guide. The tour is informative and the monument is amazing with beautiful views. There is time for shopping and a bit to eat. The van is comfortable and the locations are close enough to town to make for a relaxing day. On our tour it was a rare snowy day in Tbilisi but we had a fun time seeing the city with a winter look. I would recommend this tour for all ages and abilities since it isn't overwhelmingly long.

Freddy and George are the best your guides I've ever had! Fun, kind, welcoming, there are no words to describe the wonderful experience they gave us! They made it feel like a family trip, and everyone was super happy about it. Thanks guys!

The fun , lovely and lively tiblisi tour

Mona_J, Jan 2026
It was such a lovely experience and I am truly thrilled having had such an amazing experience with our tour guide Mr TOKO who made it so much of fun with his interactive nature , pleasing personality , knowledge of the things & dancing etc.He explained the history of all the places we visited so beautifully that I am definitely going to recommend him to all my friends who ever visit tibilisi ..Last but not the least he took the group pictures also which we can keep as memory of our tour and I was really touched with this gesture .

An easy, 5hour tour with a chilled vibe.

Jennifer_R, Jan 2026
An easy, 5hour tour with a chilled energy and vibe. This tour ticks off a few great sites without a full days worth of your time. Our host on the day Giorgi is up and coming with the particular btour provider. He has a genuine passion for the places he speaks about and very knowledgeable for a younger host. He was joined by Koto, and the synergy between the 2 of them was very good, the complemented each other well

Abdesselam_C, Jan 2026
Amazing trip! George made it extra special—friendly, fun, and full of knowledge about Georgia. His cheerful spirit made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Poor communication

EustaciaM_J, Jan 2026
Poor communication caused this low rating. From booking and not answering questions to too much talking during the trip to not communicating until last minute that the end point was not going to be the initial pick up point as it was suppose to be. This left persons like myself scrambling on how to get back to the start point or our next destination from where they decided to drop us off at. The tour was also too fast paced for me and not enough free time to explore on your own especially on the old town. If you like constant talking during the drives etc then you may like this tour and company if not and you’re more of an introvert and want some peace and quiet or a nap at any point during the long drives pick another tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

This is fake reviews . Start and end point is the same .

Half - Day Tour

JEANPR, Dec 2025
This day tour was exquisite - short 'n' sweet, it gave a perfect synopsis of all the highlights of Georgia along with tasting sessions of delectable sweets and well - aged wines. Especially brilliant was our tour guide Tanu, who gave us detailed overviews of each and every tourist destination. Her explanations were incredibly enjoyable to listen to and she was incredibly ebullient and amicable throughout the whole trip. She even gave recommendations for how best to enjoy Tbilisi in the best way possible! Not to mention, her music was brilliant and we shall forever remember the Georgian phrases and traditions she taught us...

We had a great experience...

manjiri_b, Dec 2025
We had a great experience on our day tour, and Freddy truly made it memorable. He was an amazing guide, fun, engaging, and very knowledgeable, who explained every place we visited with interesting historical context and local stories. The tour felt well-paced and interactive, and Freddy made sure everyone was comfortable, involved, and enjoying the experience. It was a perfect way to explore and understand the history of the country , and I’d highly recommend this tour, especially with Freddy as your guide.

Great tour!

Nicole_R, Dec 2025
This tour was fantastic especially with Freddie as a guide. Lots of history and a great way to see things that are close to Tbilisi but not in walking distance. We didn’t want to spend all day in the car and this tour was the perfect opportunity.

Amazinggggg
